My Project

I am so excited that our students were so motivated this year to compete in the Battle of the Books in our district again. Students at the school started reading some of the titles in August even though the competition wasn't until April. The teachers that helped coached this year are already motivated to get the new titles for next year!

I am creating this project to go ahead and get some to the titles for next year so students can have one last motivation to read before school lets out for summer.

Students will be able to read and trade books to get a head start on some of the longer more detailed stories. I must ride on this wave of excitement with reading while it lasts!
